Messiah

This two-parter is effectively the movie Seven, starring Ken Stott as detective Red Metcalfe, winner of the cheesiest name award (but a bloody good actor, so we'll let him off).

The formula is solid, if a little contrived - grisly murders all nicked from the Bible. Enter Edward Woodward as a stuttering priest to interpret stuff.

There are other laughable conceits - Stott's girlfriend (US actress Michelle Forbes) is so ridiculously attractive, they had to make her a deaf mute. And there's a moment of pure comedy in the title sequence with its hyperbolic choral music when the words 'Gillian Taylforth' appear on the screen.
